Red Hat Accelerates Generative AI Innovation with Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI on Lenovo ThinkSystem Servers

RHEL AI to be the default AI platform for Lenovo ThinkSystem SR675 V3 servers, helping to kickstart AI model development and deployments

Red Hat, Inc., the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced a collaboration with Lenovo to deliver Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI (RHEL AI) on Lenovo ThinkSystem SR675 V3 servers. With this collaboration, RHEL AI is validated to support SR675 V3 servers and will be factory pre-loaded for customers to more easily develop, test and run artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI (gen AI) models on a trusted foundation model platform, built on an AI-optimized operating system.

While gen AI poses a significant opportunity for organizations to speed up innovation, AI workloads require a combination of high performance servers and flexible software that can support these intensive compute and processing demands while also streamlining AI model training and fine tuning. By enabling Lenovo ThinkSystem SR675 V3 servers with the power of RHEL AI, Red Hat and Lenovo deliver optimized performance for AI computing using built-in GPU processing power, helping customers more quickly and seamlessly put AI initiatives into production.

RHEL AI is a foundation model platform that brings together the Granite family of open source-licensed large language models (LLMs) from IBM Research with InstructLab model alignment tools for a community-driven approach to model development. The solution is packaged as an optimized, bootable Red Hat Enterprise Linux image for portability across hybrid cloud environments and is included as part of Red Hat OpenShift AI, Red Hat’s hybrid cloud machine learning operations (MLOps) platform, for running models and InstructLab at scale across distributed cluster environments.

Lenovo Consulting Service offers comprehensive support to optimize and implement Red Hat solutions. These services provide expertise in deployment, integration, and management, helping businesses enhance their IT infrastructure's performance and scalability while reducing complexity and costs. Lenovo’s team of experts is here to help across the end-to-end technology lifecycle. For more information on Lenovo’s services, click here.

RHEL AI is now supported and available on Lenovo ThinkSystem SR675 v3 servers. Customers can test drive the solution firsthand in Lenovo’s AI Center of Excellence, where outcomes are tailored to meet the unique needs of customer organizations.
